商品描述

"The book is an indispensable reference for researchers, development
engineers, and system designers in fiber-optic communications. . . . It will
excel as an introductory text in upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses
on system applications of fiber optics."–Optik

"One of the most comprehensive and detailed accounts of the physics and
fundamental principles of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers. . . . I do not hesitate
to recommend the book enthusiastically to anyone having an interest in EDFAs and
their applications."–Physics Today

Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers are an important technology for lightwave
voice, video, and data transmission. In his previous book, Erbium-Doped Fiber
Amplifiers: Principles and Applications, Emmanuel Desurvire offered an important
exploration of the then-infant technology of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers. The
passage of the 1996 Telecommunications Act and the growth of the Internet have
sparked intense demand for expanded bandwidth in all network layers, resulting
in significant advances in EDFA technology.

Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers: Device and System Developments brings
telecommunications professionals up to date. Combining the contributions from
four international experts in EDFAs, this new volume expands the reader’s
conceptual understanding of EDFAs and covers the developmental issues of EDFAs
that are relevant to modern telecom applications. The authors review:

New aspects in EDFA modeling, including the standard confined-doping, the
transcendental-power-equation, and average-inversion-level models

Delving into fundamental concepts (including a wealth of previously
unpublished materials) as well as important breakthroughs, this much-needed
resource will place telecom engineers in a position to take advantage of every
aspect in the broad potential of EDFAs.
